Aston Martin Service Dubai: Independent Repair Workshop

Our Aston Martin service and repair work falls into 4 groups: servicing, engine and driveline, chassis, and climate and electrics. Each card sums up one job; the job pages carry the full method.

The common problems on an Aston Martin are the 6 below, each tied to a recall or to a fix Aston Martin has issued. Four are GCC recalls, 3 of them on the DBX, and 2 are faults Aston Martin has acknowledged. Each item names the fault, the models and what we do.

• DBX engine oil cooling hoses: Qatar recalled the 2023 DBX in 2024 for hoses that can leak oil until the engine stops. We inspect the hoses and refer the recall to a dealer.
• DBX rear lower control arm: Qatar's 2026 recall covers DBX and DBX707 cars of 2021 to 2025, as its link pin can work loose. Saudi Arabia recalled 109 DBX and DBX707 cars over the arm's mounting bolts. We check the arm and refer the car for the recall.
• DBX battery cables: Qatar recalled 2020, 2022 and 2023 DBX cars in 2024, as their cables can disintegrate and cut the power. We inspect the cables and refer the recall.
• Pre-cat O2 sensor wiring, DB11 V8 and 19MY Vantage: where the wiring touches the rear engine cover, it can be damaged. We enlarge the cover cutout and replace a sensor with damaged wiring.
• Damper build oil, DB11, 19MY Vantage, DBS Superleggera and DBX: oil left from manufacture can pass for a leak. We clean the damper, drive the car and replace it when oil returns.
• Previous-generation Vantage V8 software: Qatar recalled 2010 to 2013 cars in 2017 for their transmission software. The new software comes from an Aston Martin dealer, so we refer the car there.

We work on the Aston Martin lines below, from the Vantage to the Vanquish.

• Vantage (2018 generation)
• Vantage S (2025)
• V12 Vantage (2022)
• DB11 V8
• DB11 V12 and DB11 AMR
• DB12 and DB12 Volante
• DBS Superleggera
• DBS 770 Ultimate
• DBX V8
• DBX707
• DBX S (2025)
• Vanquish (2024)

The DB12, 21MY DB11, 20MY DBS Superleggera and 2018-generation Vantage use a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic. The 21MY DBX uses a mid-mounted 9-speed with a transfer box. Earlier cars, such as the 16MY Vanquish, come to us as well.

An Aston Martin service in Dubai falls due annually or at the oil service distance, whichever comes first. In the UAE, that distance is 15,000 km for the DB12, 25MY Vantage and 21MY DBX. The 21MY DB11, 21MY Vantage and 20MY DBS Superleggera run to 16,000 km or 12 months.

A DB12 service also covers the annual inspections, from the engine mounts and drive belt to the brakes, steering, lamps and airbags. Brake fluid, coolant and spark plugs follow their own limits in the same table.

On a 21MY DB11 or 21MY DBX, Service Reminder in the cluster menu shows the time left to the next service. A DB12 shows the next service due date in its app. We read that reminder at the start of each Aston Martin service.

Our Aston Martin jobs follow the 4 steps below.

These habits shape every Aston Martin we take in.
